My wife and I leave for Maui Friday morning. We will spend the week with friends. On Monday the 10th of February, Naomi would have been seven years old. We will go and scatter her ashes at sea. Naomi was born on Maui. We’ll spend the other part of the week taking it easy and doing little visiting.
So I’ll be gone for a week. Friday evening PST try clicking on this link. I’ll be standing there in a blue shirt.

Thanks to all you dopers for your messages of support. See you in a week.
Roadwalker.
I hope you have a good time, despite the sad thing you have to do. Or perhaps not so sad…Naomi lived a life that touched many more people than most of us ever do, and we know that she was happy in the end. I know that you are also expecting another child…perhaps not so sad overall.
Have you ever read “The Little Prince”? I read it the day I found out your daughter died (though I had read it countless times before, and at least twice since). There is a passage in there, at the end, about how the stars can become millions of little happy bells, or millions of tears, and they can all change in an instant, depending on how you look at them, but they will always be more special to the character in the book than they would be to other people, because of the fact that the Little Prince, who came from one of those stars, touched his life. I’m trying really hard to set this up about the Ocean and Naomi, but the words aren’t coming to me.
Read that book, you’ll see what I mean.

Wishing you and your family peace. Have a safe trip.

I’ll be thinking about you and yours on that day. Your story has moved many of us a great deal.
